Why each option
A canvas app is the correct Power Platform product to build a mobile app that connects directly to SharePoint Online as a data source.
Power Automate automates workflows and business processes but is not used to build user-facing mobile apps for data collection.
Power Pages is used to build external-facing websites and portals, not mobile apps, and requires additional configuration to connect to SharePoint.
Canvas apps are specifically designed to connect directly to a wide range of data sources including SharePoint Online, allowing makers to build fully customized mobile and tablet experiences without code. The SharePoint connector in canvas apps enables real-time read and write operations against SharePoint lists and libraries. Canvas apps are optimized for touch-based mobile layouts and can be published to iOS and Android via the Power Apps mobile app.
Model-driven apps are data-model-centric and run on Dataverse, not SharePoint Online, so they cannot connect directly to SharePoint as a primary data source.
